Currently a Manager at ACN Strat looking at likely promo to SM by end of year, and I’m exploring options to move to the equivalent strat group of a B4 (around this time next year for an SM role). For the B4 fish here, how is hiring looking? Also, is S&O the right group within Deloitte to target (i.e., same “tier” as EYP and S&)?

Why do you want to leave? You’ll lose career momentum IMO

Fair question. Our comp is below market, which is certainly a contributing factor, but mostly, the lines have been blurred between Strategy work and our other offerings. As a result, there’s a higher likelihood of being staffed on or selling projects which aren’t as desirable, and the brand has become diluted. I can live with an impact to momentum with the right lateral move

S&O hasn't existed as a disparate group at Deloitte for a couple years now - you'd likely want to look at S&A. That said, neither S&A nor any other group at Deloitte is the same "tier" as EYP or S&. The closest Deloitte had was Monitor, which has been dissolved for a few years now in NA (i.e., it also no longer exists).

You can look at AlixPartners and A&M too ! Unless people here think they are not similar tier

Depends on your end game. In many areas (ex restructuring, turnarounds, deal advisory), both Alix and A&M would be top tier. If your end game is consulting partner, Accenture/big-4 probably offers the path of least resistance. If goal is PE operating partner or industry exec, both Alix and A&M are great.

Curious, what’s your rational (vs. moving to industry)? I’m in a similar boat, but thinking about going the corporate route.

Agree. I know quite a few M/SMs who have recently left or are actively thinking about leaving.
